I don't want power, I want *control*, over my own life at least, and
at most whatever I am suited to designing.
And in order to prevent control from becoming power, it must not only be
decentralized and distributed amongst all who are impacted by it, said control
must also be paired with a burden of responsibility.
There must be no malice in judgement, no fear in foresight, no hatred in
organizing. This is the responsibility of those who would hold unnatural power
over others - the kind that are bourne on the contracts and procedures of
institution.
If the powerful do not seek to relinquish it, then perhaps they do no deserve
it. And yet a nation of Cincinnatuses would surely fall to weakness, as the
strength that they covet is replaced by whoever they can get to fill the role.
Not ideal.
Instead, a human should *revel* in their strength. The will to power
is the will to passion, and passion is intrinsically human.
However, power corrupts, and all humans should seek to avoid corruption, or at
least to keep it at bay. To do so, a person must consider their impulses and
listen to the words of the unspoken for. Only then may they overcome the perils
of control without reason.

those are the kind of people who probably shouldn't take up that much space in
your thoughts
like... they're hypocrites. yeah-sure-fine-whatever. Maybe their opinion could
be changed if they were in different social circumstances, but, they're not,
so... fuck 'em until they are, yeah?
so many people don't think for themselves. That's okay, they don't have to
think if they don't want to. I guess. But they also can hurt people, so... fuck
'em, until they are given the chance to consider, and they choose to consider.
It's very difficult to maintain hatred when presented with the possibility of
consideration. But those kind of people typically never have that opportunity.
So... like I said, fuck 'em. Don't give them power, don't let them hurt people,
but they can fuck right off with their hatred and vitriol (vitriol not unlike
this kind that I'm writing right now)

and yes, before you ask, modding this game is a constant struggle because the
mod tools are... minimal... so you must work around various challenges by, for
example, adding 1680 different "events" that must be checked every single turn
*for every single province on the map*.

War is hell - each casualty bids farewell to a wholely unique treasure from
this world - war is hell - there is nothing that cannot be resolved with words.
And yet we fight, and yet we pillage. War is hell, and those who demand it must
do so only to resist evil, elemental evil, the kind that wars on the innocent
and pillages the bounteous. War is hell. Fucking kill the ones who make it.

The right is *using* the neo-nazis. They don't want them either, but
they're a convenient boogey-man.

show the world what a ridiculous farce our elections are. They have never been

Ask any red blooded American, left or right, how they'd like to handle
neo-nazis. We all know where we stand.

There are strategic goals and top down goals.
Strategy is the domain of the execs. They must be as general as possible and
justify their existence. They are the glue, the connectors, the people who know
who to talk to in order to get things done.
Tactics are the realm of the workers. They must be capable, dependable, honest
and fair. They must diligently realize the goals of the strategic plan using
whatever means they deem fit to address the tactical situation at hand. The
more freedom they have, the more effective they are.
These two forces are pitted in contest under capitalism. Under socialism, they
are orthogonal to one another. Not a pyramid, but a cylinder on its side,
growing from its base on one end to its zenith at the other.
They are allies. They are similar, but distinct. Their roles may overlap at
times, or perhaps not if they should not desire it. A person should be able to
work wherever they like. They are the best judges of their capabilities.
There are only so many resources, and if we vote on their distribution we'll
give enough for everyone to share. And then we'll run out. Unless, of course,
we *demand* sustainablity. Long-term, and ignoring profit but rather
seeking to build capability. That is the only way to [ramp/snowball/scale].
